Aprilia RS 457 to be launched at India Bike Week 2023

The Aprilia RS 457 is a fully-faired bike that draws inspiration from the RS 660.

The Aprilia RS 457 was unveiled in September this year. Piaggio is now gearing up to finally announce the price of the KTM RC 390 rival. It will be launched on December 8 at India Bike Week 2023.

The Aprilia RS 457 is a fully-faired bike featuring dual LED headlamps with a short visor and clip-on handlebars at the front, a short tail section and an underbelly exhaust. It is equipped with a digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, 3-stage traction control and ABS. 

The RS 457 is powered by a 457cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 47 BHP, which puts it in the same league as the KTM RC 390. The engine is mated with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike gets a ride-by-wire system and an optional quick shifter.

The RS 457 features an upside-down front fork with a mono-shock at the rear. It gets disc brakes at both ends and rides on 17-inch wheels.
